questions for locals:
how far by bus or train are brighton and portsmouth?
i've heard portsmouth isn't the safest place to be, esp. some of the industrial areas and at night -- the club isn't in this area, i hope?
any good recommendations to lodge in either or both of these cities?
(if you can't tell, i'm trying to plan a trip. i'm hoping you guys have good answers!)
Travelodge in Brighton's right in the town and the rooms are nice, I did an overnighter in Brighton last year after a gig and stayed there. Portsmouth is ok and I'm quite sure they have a Travelodge too. If you're flying into Gatwick then Brighton is under an hour away, Portsmouth would be an hour and a half to 2 hours.
